Graph (Monitor Area)

FUNCTION

4.9 Graph (Monitor Area)

Sampling the output frequency or current, etc. of the inverter and displays the data in graph form (wave form). The sampling

data can be saved in a file (Export to *.bmp or *.gp3). And the saved sampling data can be read and displayed (Import from

*.gp3).

Select [G

raph] under [View] menu, or click on the tool bar to display "Graph".

There are two sampling methods.

• High Speed sampling (only when the FR-A700 or E700(SC)(NC) series is connected with USB without

connecting through GOT)

Able to sample a data with minimum sampling interval of about 1 [ms]. One station can be sampled.

• Monitor sampling

Able to sample a data from multiple stations. Sampling interval varies depending on communication setting (communication

speed and communication port) and a number of sampling items.

Setting Items Specifications

Sampling point Sampling is available up to 10000 points per each CH

Sampling interval

High Speed sampling: Setting available from about 1 [ms] (mask count: 1) to 20 [ms] (mask count: 40)

Monitor sampling: Setting available from about 50 [ms] to 540000 [ms] (varies depending on

communication speed, communication port or number of sampling items)

Sampling time [ms]

High Speed sampling: Maximum sampling interval 8000

Monitor sampling: Maximum sampling interval 10000

Analog data Sampling of 1CH to 4CH (4CHs) analog data is available.

Digital data Sampling of 5CH to 8CH (4CHs) digital data is available.

Note

• During High Speed sampling, if other application is running or performing file handling with personal computer,

communication error (Error code 0x8002007, 0x80020008) or buffer overflow error may occur, and unable to display

data correctly. In this case, take measures such as, to close the other application, to refrain FR Configurator operation,

or to set larger value in Mask count of sampling interval.

• Test operation ( , ) does not function during graph sampling of two or more stations by communication

through GOT (FA transparent function).

• High Speed sampling is available for the FR-A700 series manufactured in December 2011 or later. Check the SERIAL

number specified on the inverter rating plate or package. (For how to find the SERIAL number, refer to the Instruction

Manuals of the inverter.)
